Mediocrity
My greatest foe is mediocrity.
I enjoy singing, drawing, writing poetry and stories. People say, “You do well.” But I want more from myself. I want that which I cannot have; I want excellence.
I would like to think the quality does not matter if it is something I enjoy, if it serves as my release. Some may be content with less then they are capable, or with the false one that seek to appease and comfort. I prefer harsh reality.
It is disheartening to be mediocre in so many things. Can I not have at least one thing in which I can excel?

Sometimes it is easy to forget our own good qualities. Try asking a close friend to tell what they like about you. I can already tell you have a very intriguing writing style.
I agree, it is very very difficult relating to people when their standards are so much different from yours. It is quite unexpected that we live our entire lives with one another yet we can be in such different worlds.
Have you read Le Petit Prince?
